Leftovers from 3D printing used for truck parts

The researchers explained that 3D printing is well-suited for producing small parts that would be

are too expensive to manufacture due to additional costs.Cheap to produce and will really become part of the car.

Ford, in partnership with HP, began reworkingparts after 3D printing - now plastic from waste will become a fuel clamp for the F-250 truck. The waste is sent to Lavergne, which turns it into plastic granules. Then they can be used in injection molding machines. These granules can be easily converted into clamps later.

A battery made of vegetable starch and carbon nanotubes has been created

Fuel clamps made from recycled printer waste are more resistant to chemicals and moisture, 7% and 10% less expensive than clamps that have been used so far.

“Many companies are finding great uses3D printing technologies, but together with HP, we were the first to find a use for a powder that would most likely go to landfill. They will now become functional and durable auto parts, ”said Debbie Melewski, Ford Technical Officer.
